Elizabeth Cady Stanton And Susan B. Anthony
Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony Susan
B. Anthony is the most well known name in women's
rights from the 1800s. Most people who are not
familiar with the history of this time are aware
of Susan's reputation and nearly everyone of my
generation has seen and held a Susan B. Anthony
silver dollar. For these reasons I was greatly
surprised to learn that Elizabeth Cady Stanton was
the original women's rights movement spokeswoman
and Susan B. Anthony her protg. Elizabeth Cady
Stanton married an abolitionist and gave birth to
seven children. Shortly after she married,
Elizabeth and her husband attended a national
anti-slavery conference in Euro ...

Elizabeth Cady Stanton Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Elizabeth Cady Stanton was born in 1815 to the
affluent parents Daniel and Mary Livingston Cady
in Jamestown, NY. Cady's parents made it obvious
that they preferred sons to daughters when they
showed their mutual displeasure of the birth of
the Elizabeth's younger sister. Determined to
succeed at a level relative to her brothers,
Elizabeth attended Jamestown Academy and studied
Greek and Mathematics. It was here that she
learned to become a skilled debater. She went on
to attend the Troy Female Seminary in New York. It
was one of the first universities to offer an
education equal to that of male academies. While
at Troy she studied logic, physiol ...

Feminist Backlash: The Unconscious - 1,377 words
Feminist Backlash: The Unconscious Undermining of
Genuine Equality American people come in a variety
of shapes and sizes; their thoughts, fears, and
convictions differ widely. It is usually necessary
for Americans to choose a status in politics and
community; but it is obvious that among specific
groups and organizations, a persons beliefs and
opinions differ dramatically from the next.
Feminist groups, specifically in the last twenty
years, have announced their view of membership as
an elite group of woman who must have the same
specific convictions. Moreover, they denounce
anyone who does not, as irrational and supporting
the continuance of subordination of women.
Feminist propaganda is of ...

Feminist Movement - 348 words
Feminist Movement It was in the mid-1800s when the
first signs of the feminist movement came about.
In 1861, a man named John Stuart Mill wrote The
Subjection of Women, which was said to have
spawned the ideology of the Womens Rights Movement
(Ryan 11). He discussed the role of women is
society during that time, pointing out how the
patriarchy placed such an intense limit on what
women could do. Patriarchy is the system in which
the male race governs societal views, and this
practice has been in existence since the dawn of
time. This work raised the consciousness of many
women, but the first hints of an organized
movement did not come about until the approach of
the twentieth century. It has ...

political demonstration to protest the policies of
the Reagan. After a long street march, Johnson
burned an American flag as a symbol of his
contempt for Reagan. No one was hurt or threatened
with injury, although the flag burning seriously
offended several witnesses. Johnson was convicted
of desecration of a venerated object in violation
of a Texas statute. The case first went to the
state of appeals, where they affirmed the
punishment, but then the Texas Court of Criminal
Appeals reversed, holding that the State,
consistent with the First Amendment, could not
punish Johnson for burning the flag in these
circumstances. The case went all the way ...

Postwar Women - 1,637 words
Postwar Women Postwar Women World War Two has
often been described as a turning point in the
battle for equality between men and women. From
the beginning, women were always struggling to
gain status, respect, and rights in their society.
Prior to World War Two, a woman's role in society
was seen as someone who cooked, cleaned, and gave
birth. The years during and following the war
marked a turning point in the battle for equality.
Women, for once, were being seen as individuals
with capabilities outside the kitchen, and we're
for the first time given a chance to prove
themselves. On December 7, 1942, Pearl Harbor was
bombed and FDR declared war. This marked the entry

Susan Brownell Anthony I. Susan B. Anthony : A
Biographical Introduction Susan Brownell Anthony
was born on February 15, 1820 in Adams,
Massachusetts to Daniel and Lucy Anthony. Susan
was the second born of eight children in a strict
Quaker family. Her father, Daniel Anthony, was
said to have been a stern man, a Quaker
Abolitionist and a cotton manufacturer born near
the conclusion of the eighteenth century. From
what I read, he believed in "guiding" his
children, not in 'directing' them. Daniel Anthony
did not allow his offspring to experience the
childish amusements of toys, games, and music,
which were seen as distractions from the "inner
light." Instead he enforced self-discipline, prin ...

of Northern Virginia to withdraw across the
Potomac into the Shenandoah Valley. Another battle
is the Battle of Fredricksburg. On November 14,
1862 Burnside, now in command of the Army of the
Potomac, sent a corps to occupy the vicinity of
Falmouth near Fredericksburg. The rest of the army
soon followed. Lee reacted by positioning his army
on the heights behind the town. On December 11,
Union engineers laid five pontoon bridges across
the Rappahannock under fire. On the 12th, the
Federal army crossed over, and on December 13,
Burnside mounted a series of assaults on Prospect
Hill and Marye's Heights that resulted in a lot of
casualties. Meade ...

The Women - 750 words
The Women The women's suffrage party fought for
years on the right to vote. They weren't going to
stop until they got their right. For instance,
Alice Paul organized a parade through Washington
D.C. on inauguration day, which supported women's
suffrage and also picketed the White House for 18
months. Paul was put in jail for that and started
a hunger strike. Susan B Anthony and Elizabeth
Cady Shanton supported the women's suffrage for
fifty years later. Neither of them lived to see
the 19th amendment ratified on August 26, 1920.
The amendment was ratified under Wodrow Wilson as
the President of the United States. Now with the
19th amendment, women have the right to own
property, be employed, ...

The Womens Rights Movement - 1,576 words
The Women's Rights Movement In the nineteenth
century, the words that our forefathers wrote in
the Declaration of Independence, "that all men
were created equal," held little value. Human
equality was far from a reality. If you were not
born of white male decent, than that phrase did
not apply to you. During this period many great
leaders and reformers emerged, fighting both for
the rights of African Americans and for the rights
of women. One of these great leaders was Elizabeth
Cady Stanton. Stanton dedicated her entire life to
the women's movement, despite the opposition she
received, from both her family and friends. In the

Womens Lib - 646 words
Womens Lib Throughout the years, women have been
seen as someone to have children, someone to cook,
someone to clean, and someone who does not deserve
rights. Because two women, Elizabeth Stanton and
Susan B. Anthony, fought for equal rights, women
today have an equality that was once thought
impossible. They began by educating women on the
rights they should have, then forming the National
Womans Suffrage Association, and finally,
together, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Susan B.
Anthony would change the way that the United
States viewed women, they would give them the
right to vote. Elizabeth Cady Stanton started the
fight for womens rights at a convention in Seneca
Falls, New York 1848. She ...

to prove them wrong. In early 15th century Venice,
young girls were only give three options for the
pathways of their lives when they reached
womanhood: marriage, prostitution, or becoming a

in virtually the only acceptable position that

Women's Movements Before the women's movements in
the United States, women who were treated unfairly
and not given any equal rights as men had suffered
great tragedy. There tragedy was the way the
society had treated them cruelly such as 1women

as career opportunities. Women would usually have
the role of staying home and taking care of
children and the home. Now after the first and
second waves of the women's movements, women now
are treated with great respect and given
independent freedom. And carry a great deal of
triumph. 5Women's Movements are group efforts,
chiefly by women, that seek to improve women's
lives or the lives of others. Pr ...

these truths to be self evident, that all men are

all men and women are created equal. As normal as
that sentence may sound now, back in 1884, it was

change that was made was the omission of the words
"among men" in the line, "to secure these rights,
governments are instituted among men". Stanton
